Chapter 272 I Heard Everything
Chloe frowned. “You pour the coffee into the toilet? Doesn’t all the coffee go to Mr. Joseph?”
Lucas looked puzzled. “Mr. Joseph hasn’t had coffee for a long time.”
‘He has been drinking chamomile tea before you two had your fight, and now he needs even more of it after you two reconciled.’
“But Fia here has been delivering coffee to Mr. Joseph every day, and she said he accepted them…”
“No, she only delivered it once, and I intercepted it. After that, she’d just take a cup of coffee and head to the restroom every day.”
As the conversation unfolded, Chloe understood the whole story. Sophia’s face turned crimson red. Unable to bear it any longer, she rushed back into the elevator. Just as the elevator doors slid close, she saw Joseph coming out of his office. His large hand casually came to rest on Chloe’s slender waist as if he had done it countless times before.
The coffee cup in Sophia’s hand was crushed out of shape. ‘It’s true, Chloe and Mr. Joseph are sugar dating!’
Sophia could not wait to make a phone call to that woman to get further instructions from her. Some people simply could not stand seeing others doing better than them.
Chloe wondered if Joseph had never really remembered Sophia.
She asked, “Do you remember Sophia? The new employee in our department?”
“Nope,” Joseph replied indifferently.
Chloe paused, her suspicions confirmed. “Then why did she do all of this? Just to make me angry? It doesn’t make sense at all.’
“What’s the matter?”
“Fia seems to know about our relationship.”
Joseph sat on the sofa, casually propping his legs up on the coffee table. The sunlight from outside reflected on his face, highlighting his exquisitely sculpted handsome features.
He shrugged nonchalantly. “So what if she knows? It’s just as you wanted.”
He knew that Chloe had long wanted to make their relationship public.
Chloe could not help but retort, “What do you mean by just as I wanted? We’re not allowed to engage in romantic relationships in the office. You made the rules yourself, remember?”
Joseph gazed at her deeply and said arrogantly, “If I have the ability to make rules, do I not have the ability to change them?”
Chloe rolled her eyes at him, but she had to admit that what he said made sense. However, she had not made up her mind about whether to make their relationship public yet. She would feel immensely pressured if it were to be exposed.
When Chloe returned to her department, she noticed her colleagues’ subtle glances and the mysterious atmosphere that pervaded the air. On the other hand, Sophia had a look of amusement on her face as if she was waiting for a good show.
Every department had its gossipmonger, and the marketing department was no exception. Their voices traveled faster than the person themselves.
“Oh my, do you know? It’s been confirmed that Chloe has a fling with Mr. Joseph. Someone actually saw him holding her waist as they entered his office!”
“I knew something was off between them. Which employee would receive a cash reward of 30 thousand dollars in one go? Clearly, there’s something fishy going on.”
“That’s nothing. I have some insider information, and it’s absolutely true!”
